AllI IJLA vmii u una alter having been introduced by Hon. P. C. Coggins has, since reaching the senate, been killed I by a committee of that body. ftVe are reliably informed that i(Judge)Thos Jones of Asheville, who last year sent his daughter II to a Roman Catholic convent was p very 0c live in presenting his (?) V-t Ohlfift.ihn in t'ho hill in tlifi sanatp j committee. When we stop to consider the bare facts, this gen tleman and thecommittee where- lit) the bill was killed have cer- tamly distinguished themselves t bjf-this very singular action, to isay the least. In a state where fonly one person in every 235 is a sHomah Catholic (according to the ; 1917 Roman Catholic directory) especially in view of the fact that house had unanimously sup- poriiaa ine on1, sucn an action is "l not only unwarranted but is like I wise clearly in direct opposition to the will of the people. No sane Iperson would believe that out'ol the 235 non:Catholics to every 'Roman Catholic th.u sufficient I puu9 uaivo Uvw llx v cuauii ed of ;Romo's peculiar institu tions as to desire to protect tliem irom state inspection . which, in 1 the evefnt that they are as, whole - Isome as tljeirRom ish promoters woulH ift ns Relieve,'" do them no harm. - The action of this committee means nothing more or less than that Mr. Jones, et al. are near- , ing the end of their days in po litical usefulness as the repre sentatives of staunch and true - Americans, wiiose desire is to preserve inviolate the absolute ;! separation of church and slate. ' jj,' It is not improbablo, but on the f contrary a necessary result, that K the district which sent Jovtus to M the state senate will select at its finext regular election a man who yj lias no leaning towards Rome, t religiously . or otherwise, and ( whose past life is evidence con elusive that he will work for the preservation of American ideals f instead, of attempting to block i measures that must rebound to : the best interests of the com monwealth such as placing all in .stitutions not controlled by the state in a bosition" where they will at leasi be subject to state U ' inspection.- The Menace. 1 According to our inforrcntion i- this bill was considered too dras ' -r . f J. -J 11 , tic. it proviaea ior wie rev King and of course it applied to all in stitutions. We undorstpud it would have passed .' had it provided a -penal ty , ' auch as a fine, for fai'ure to, com- hlv with its provisions. Of course the bill could have and should have been amended to suit the requirements, but it was on the eve of adjournment and it Tvas allowed to go, as many other bills did. Ei3, Watchman. Plant Here and Cultivate it and We Wil Have Hore. Superintendent R G Kizar has invited the public school teachers of the county to meet in the old court house Saturday, April fist, for the purpose of discuss ing ways and means of produc ing more food and feed stuff.

Of course there are,, several people . ound about here somewhere who know this and several, those -who ex- pect to do any thing, have already proceeded on their way.

The Negro is too in telligent to make such foolish re martfs and a lot is being said and attributed to him that is false. M uch of the sime kind of talk is being indulged in in re gard to many of our foreign born citizens. Of course there are Isome bad in every lot and need watching but, while we hold no brief for - the foreigner in gen eral, suffice it to say there is much being said that can be bet ter unsaid. 1 ''"sBBBr.
